Updated: Slam-dunk with Dave

Ooh-la-la! What a late-night vision Tony Parker was in his sleek silver and black  what else for a Spur?  suit Monday night. Better yet, both he and Dave Letterman were like a comic team. . .They made ’em laugh, made ’em laugh, made ’em laugh.

On the show, which was taped in New York earlier this evening, the Spurs star got the audience giggling and applauding with responses on all sorts of subjects:

John Paul Filo/CBS

The “easy” win over the Cavaliers, some friendly digs at “grandpa”  Coach Popovich and a whole lot of talk about his upcoming wedding to Eva Longoria in France, the honeymoon afterward and, um, who’s the real coach in that famous romance.

Some highlights:

On the four-game sweep.

Letterman: “Congratulations on the MVP and the championship, four straight over Cleveland. Did you think it would be that easy?”

Tony: “No.” (audience laughs)

On beating LeBron.

Letterman: “Now, is that the problem with the Cavaliers, he (LeBron James) may be their No. 1 strength and it doesn’t go much deeper than that?”

Tony: “I don’t want to talk bad about other players but ”

Letterman: “Well, this is the place to do it.” (Tony, audience laugh)

Tony: ”  We were only focused, we were only focused on him and trying to contain him and everybody did a good job on the team.”

On the non-stop partying.

Letterman: “Is the celebrating continuing now?”

Tony: “Yeah, the party’s still going. I’m in New York, so it’s better here, you know.” (Dave, Tony, audience laugh) “I’m here with all my friends, you know, and my brothers and so the party is good here.”

On Coach Popovich.

Letterman: “Tell me about your coach  is he  do you get along well with your coach?”

Tony: “I LOVE my coach.” (Tony, audience laughs) “No, I have to be honest, there were growing pains. I arrived in San Antonio, I was 19 years old so I was very young, and it was tough at the beginning because he’s like the military  you know, he’s from the Army, and so he’s always in search of perfection. . .But at the end of the day, you know, he was trying to make me better and so I appreciate that. But it was tough.”

Letterman: “Have you reached the point where if he starts getting on you, you can say, ‘Just go away, grandpa’?” (Tony, audience laugh)

Tony: “The last two years, more and more, I answer back, but, you know, when I see him all red and screaming, I’m like ”

Letterman: “Everybody’s talking about it, and was that a distraction at all because during the finals, we saw quite a lot of your fiancée on camera.”

Tony: “Yeah, she’s been great, she’s been great. She’s doing everything, I have to be honest. I’m doing nothing for the wedding. I’m just going to show up and say ‘yes.’ ” (Dave, audience laugh, audience applauds).

Letterman: “Great, yeah, good for you. And then a lovely honeymoon somewhere?”

Slam and dunk. It was indeed a lively slice of TV. . .maybe not as scintillating as the diving dogs, but pretty darn good.

And anyone who had an early wake-up call Tuesday  such as yours truly  should be especially grateful that CBS and KENS came to a new agreement requiring S.A.’s affiliate to carry Letterman at 10:35 instead of its former tape-delayed broadcast at 11:05 p.m.
